STEPS Reviews

No built in little sound

Would be great for in the go music making. What a shame. All I need is a sine wave or square going through a vca. Please update

Great app, just one bug

I think this app is great and it will do just what I need it to which is sending some midi notes over Bluetooth midi to control a DMX lighting controller from my iPad. But I seem unable to send a midi note of C-2, no matter what I do. In my DMX controller midi note 0 corresponds to note C-2. I can send C#-2 but when I pull the octave slider all the way down and pull the note for any of the 8 steps all the way down it will note send the C-2 note. Bump them up one note and they send C#-2. I can work around that but would be nice for that to work. Thanks!

Simple, Novel Sequencer

The thing I wish I had known before I bought it: Steps is a single, 8-note sequencer. Each note can repeat up to 8 times, but that’s not the same thing as a 64-note sequencer. That said, it’s nice UI putting together a melodic line on a phone. The dials make an interesting, if not particularly earth-shattering, sequencer interface. Build is solid, got it working with Animoog on Audiobus in just a few minutes.

Limited

Pretty limited in practice, developer doesn’t respond to email... confused why this app got rave reviews.

Another Amazing Product!

This with the SNAP drum app seem to represent a new direction for apps....performance! How many piano rolls does a person need? This is no piano roll or old school sequencer. How nice would it be to rework whole sequences with a swipe of finger? Intuitive to the point of a primal connection with the tactile sensation and music alterations. Love this app like all this company's app. Suggestions: MIDI channel and cc control options and maybe add another whole sequences to have like 4 pages of steps - 1 each color and control more than 1 app, chord creations, or act as an LFO with cc control. Must buy

Is that all?

Quite a disappointment. After the glowing review in CDM, I was expecting so much more. But this is basically an eight(!) step monophonic sequencer with a gratuitously confusing UI. I've used plenty of other music software, and I've read the online "manual" for this, so I'm pretty sure I'm not missing the point completely. And I've tried the presets, which are all useless: either simple rhythms on one note, or simple scales. If this app is useful for anything interesting, as Peter Kirn sure seems to think it is, then the secret must be buried in some hidden setting I couldn't discover.

Great app!

So much fun his little app is. Excellent tool to create my midi sequences.

Don't be like me

Read through an app before you buy it. If you buy it read the facts on it. Great app, user error may happen.

Pretty weak...

One star for app because you can't leave zero stars. One star for unique concept. Can't turn off outbound midi. Switches are there but they reset. No way to set scale. No velocity per step. Should be free. Even .99 is too much for this. It's like a high school programming project.
